For face-to-face transactions in a traditional retail setting, it’s hard to beat point-of-sale terminals for securely processing credit cards, debit cards, prepaid cards, checks, electronic benefits transfers (EBTs) and other electronic transactions. Simply swipe the customer’s card through the card reader and the terminal does the rest. Add a PIN pad to your credit card machine to process PIN debit cards and EBT transactions.
These point-of-sale countertop terminals are the workhorses of the brick-and-mortar sales environment where card-present transactions are the norm.
